Shirley MacLaine won Best Actress honors at the Berlin Film Festival for her performance in this 1971 screen version of Paula Fox's acclaimed novel. MacLaine costars with Kenneth Mars as two disillusioned New Yorkers who struggle to come to grips with a "normal" life with which they can no longer cope. Though seemingly happy and prosperous, everything begins to unravel after MacLaine's elegant but earthy Sophie is bitten by a feral cat she has been feeding and her husband's law firm dissolves. Look for a young Carol Kane in her film debut.
